Tiny or tall, brave or small—it is the size of our hearts that matter at all …

Legend tells that deep in the Land of Cambria, in the heart of the Magical Forest, a tiny race of enchanted beings, no bigger than a butterfly, still call the forest their home. Hidden away from the prying eyes of humans, these magical fairies keep their magic a secret from those who would use it for evil. Yet after thousands of years in hiding, the secret of the fairies is about to come out…

For young Raine, being a princess of the Magical Forest means duty before desire, and her fate to marry a fairy of her father’s choosing becomes a bit more complicated when she accidentally falls for Bryce—a human. In a desperate plea to be with the man she loves, Raine seeks the aid of Vitra, the Dragon Queen of the Dark Forest, in order to become a human and catch Bryce’s eye.

Blinded by true love and guided by destiny, Raine’s journey will jeopardize those she is sworn to protect and leave the fate of the Magical Forest to the evil forces at play. Can she save her kingdom from darkness? Or will she give up her heart’s true desire in order to realize her destiny?

A Cambria Fairy Tale

They spent the rest of the evening laughing and talking over what was left of their meal, but a gnawing feeling kept pulling at Raine. She sensed that Samson's Locks was a powerful weapon, although she didn't know how, and in the hands of Virtra ... well ... Raine would rather not think of that at the moment. She just hoped that it wouldn't mean the destruction of her kingdom 


"Are you well?" Bryce whispered into her ear, leaning close, startling her. "You appear to be lost in thought."


Raine shook her head. "'Tis nothing. Let us just enjoy the time we have together."


Bryce nodded, but Raine could see from the look in his eyes that he wasn't convinced. 


"Well, we shall all retire for the evening," Colin said, interrupting their conversation. "After all, there will be lots to do on the morrow." Then, he looked over at Raine. "Are you up for it?"


She nodded. "Yes. Of course. I would love to help."
